18mm 4-Flute nACo Solid Carbide Square End Millfor HRC65 Hardened Steel

nACo (nano-AlCrN composite) coating represents the highest-performance tier in the square end mill range. With a coating hardness exceeding 3,800 HV and an oxidation temperature of 1,100°C, nACo enables dry cutting in hardened steel up to HRC65 — direct competition with CBN tooling at a fraction of the cost. 4-flute geometry with tight tolerance on corner radius (< 0.01mm) delivers consistent surface quality in die and mould hardened cavities, hardened shaft features, and precision gear blanks. Requires rigid fixturing and maximum 0.005mm spindle runout.

18mm nACo 4F — Recommended Applications

  • Heavy mould base and plate machining
  • Large structural steel profiling
  • Pressure vessel and flange features
  • Mining and energy equipment components
Machining Tip: At ø18mm, chip load per tooth should be verified against machine spindle power (minimum 15 kW recommended in HRC65 steel). Use high-feed circular interpolation entry (helical ramp) to avoid plunging at full width.

nACo — Why It Works

  • Coating hardness > 3,800 HV — harder than TiN or TiAlN
  • Oxidation resistance to 1,100°C — enables dry cutting in hardened steel
  • Direct competitor to CBN at lower tooling cost
  • Ideal for die/mould cavities and hardened shaft features
